Abstract:
"The Joint Archive for Sea Level (JASL) is a collaboration between the University of Hawaii Sea Level Center (UHSLC) and the World Data Center-Silver Spring (WDCSS) for Oceanography, which is co-located at the US National Oceanographic Data Center. The JASL is based at the UHSLC and grew out of the need for data management support of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) Sea Level Center, founded by Dr. Klaus Wyrtki in 1985 at the University of Hawaii. The primary objective of the JASL is to prepare a scientifically valid, well-documented archive of hourly and daily sea level values in standardized formats that are readily available to the international research communities. The JASL is a Global Sea Level Observing System (GLOSS) archive center. The successful growth of the JASL has been made possible through the generous contributions of over 100 agencies representing over 90 countries. On a quasi-annual basis, copies of the cumulative data holdings are submitted to the WDC-SS, the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level, and the Climate Variability `Delayed-Mode' Data Assembly Center for sea level. This data report was prepared to describe the present archive as of November 2013 and to highlight new and updated series."
